INT. EXTENDED PATIO OVERSEEING A GREAT GARDEN WITH A POOL
ZHANG WEI walks over the patio to fill his glass with water.
ZHANG looks out over the garden.
ZHANG WEI
This is a great garden. I lIke this garden.
LI XIU YING
It is alright.
ZHANG WEI
Alright, our grandfather spent his life building this garden. And his grandfather before him.
LI XIU YING
Dad, never took to it.
ZHANG WEI
He also was blind, deaf and drank too much.
LI XIU YING
Yes, he
LIked his lemonade. You make him sound like he was Liu Yang.
ZHANG WEI
Yes, he inded was not like our aunt. It still is a wonderous garden.
LI XIU YING
It lacks… Symmetry.
ZHANG WEI
Symmetry, that sounds like a word only book worms would know.
LI XIU YING
Or someone that did not skip school.
ZHANG WEI
I did not skip school, I just had other priorities.
LI giving ZHANG a side ways look.
LI XIU YING
What was her name?
ZHANG WEI
I forget.
LI XIU YING
To be fair, so do I.
ZHANG WEI
You could use a boy toy.
LI XIU YING
I find the brain attractive. Smart men make me happy. They are so hard to find.
ZHANG WEI
I suggest pretty ones. Easier to find.
LI XIU YING
As age happens, looks fade. The brain only gets better. I play the long game.
ZHANG WEI
(laughing)
Long
LI XIU YING
Grow up!!
ZHANG WEI
So tell me about this brain man you seek. Does he dance with 2 left feet? Can he dress for success? Does he still live in his parent’s basement?
LI XIU YING
You still
LIve in your parents basement.
ZHANG WEI
Good thing, you are my sister then. Otherwise it would be awkward.
LI XIU YING
I see why you are single.
ZHANG WEI
By choice.
LI XIU YING
Yep, just not yours. My brain man can do math, he can read my poetry, and he can pay for his own apartment because he has a job.
ZHANG WEI
3 jobs to be exact, you cost a fortune to maintain.
LI XIU YING
That might also be true. I can work and pay for myself though.
ZHANG WEI
Tell me of this work you claim to do. How come I had to get my own glass of water?
LI XIU YING
Smart people can identify who needs to do the work.
ZHANG WEI
Speaking of work, I am going to go for a swim. The neighbours have their daughters home from college. I figure I will roll my luck.
LI XIU YING
Gambling is a fools vice. You should have shown up for math class.
ZHANG WEI
Yeah, but gambling is much more fun.
ZHANG WEI gambles his afternoon away in the pool. ZHANG WEI only wins a consolation prize of a bad sunburn.
LI XIU YING lounges in on the deck, and takes her investment portfolio another 10 points higher.
